Ideas that our team generates turn into special events. Some ideas have even morphed into traditions — annual events — and attracted loyal circles of visitors.

Highlights

ЯRmarka — an exhibition-sale-charity campaign offering the artworks of students of the Art Academy of Latvia. www.jarmarka.org (since 2003)

The idea originated from a simple observation — that students of the Art Academy of Latvia keep accumulating works they make during their classes, storing them on tops of wardrobes, under beds and in garages.

The idea for the festival came when listening to the rhythms of the reggae and ska bands Voiceks Voiska and Kuchen Beat during a performance at the Limonāde (Lemonade) open-air childhood festival that we organised.

(In 2014, at the award ceremony of the Latvian Association of Event Producers, the festival LABA DABA was recognised as the best large public event in Latvia. www.pasakumi.lv)

The idea originated thanks to our ex-colleague Ginta Ernštreite. Once, as she was observing the courtyard through a window, she thought: it would be quite nice if all of a sudden a circus entered the courtyard and started performing.

The idea was born when thinking about how adults, who stuck in their daily routines are too focused on the serious roles they are playing and burdens they are carrying, often forget about the playfulness and carefree spirit of childhood.

(The Culture Board of the Riga City Council nominated Lemonade for the Riga Culture Award of the Year “Baltais Zvirbulis” (White Sparrow) and it won in the category “Co-operation project of the year 2005”.)
